阿西夫·可汗為奇森哈勒小學設計的空中游樂場位于東倫敦的鮑區(qū)。該項目作為學校長期規(guī)劃的第一個部分，在近日剛剛完工。

可汗作為該小學兩名學生的父親，與美國闊葉木出口委員會以及AKT II結構工程事務所合作，利用家長們一年來通過義賣等各種活動籌集的資金設計并實現(xiàn)了此項目。

項目任務書的內容頗具挑戰(zhàn)性，要求增加這所中心城區(qū)小學的兒童活動面積以匹配擴大了的學生數(shù)量，但同時又不能侵占體育健康課程設置要求保留的場地。

設計在現(xiàn)有的操場邊緣處增設了一處雙層游樂空間。該空間由下層的軟質鋪地和離地2.2m的甲板構成，兩者通過一個小山坡和兩條滑梯產生聯(lián)系。

阿西夫·可汗說：“我們設計了一個內外交融的空間，讓孩子們玩耍時能夠充分發(fā)揮他們的想象力。這片地塊由兩個元素組成——一片軟質的、以一個小山包為最高點的橡膠鋪地，以及一個抬升起來的半圍合木制空間?；莺屠K網(wǎng)構成了主要的豎向元素。場地的平面布置會誘使孩子們跑來跑去，同時也為他們提供了安靜的休憩空間。在這樣一個簡單的結構中，我們看到孩子們設計出了多種多樣的游玩方式?！?/p>

奇森哈勒小學的孩子們在持續(xù)6個月的設計過程中作為顧問，給建筑師出謀劃策，給項目提供了諸多具體的設想。孩子們說，他們想要能跑、能爬、能躲起來以及能與朋友休憩聊天的場所。

阿西夫·可汗說：“我們善于用木材來打造一個友善的材質層。項目的結構也被設計成可調整的，因而會隨著時間而成長、進化?！?/p>

教師代表海倫·詹姆斯說：“這地方對孩子們來說真的很有意思。從材料來看，木材的使用彰顯了對自然環(huán)境的責任感，也完全契合了學校對教育負責的理念?！?/p>

方案的結構為由熱改性郁金香木條板和熱改性白蠟木制成的甲板。方案將經(jīng)過一個全生命周期的績效評估，而且此評估過程還會作為難得的教育素材成為學校課程的一部分。

美國闊葉木出口委員會歐洲處處長大衛(wèi)·維內貝說：“能為這樣一個將好設計、好建筑和環(huán)境友好的木制建材介紹給孩子們的項目提供支持，我們感到萬分榮幸。我認為這是一次讓孩子們見證在自然中生長的可持續(xù)材料是如何提高他們生活品質的機會。熱改性白蠟木和郁金香木材都是性能極佳的室外材料，所以自然成為了阿西夫·可汗在此項目中的選材。”（張裕翔 譯）

Asif Khan has designed an elevated playground for Chisenhale Primary School in Bow, East London, which has just completed construction and is the first part of the school's long-term masterplan.

Khan, who has two children at the school, approached the American Hardwood Export Council and AKT II structural engineers to collaborate with him on the project while the active parent body at the school managed to raise funds through fetes and other events held throughout the year.

The challenging brief required an increase in the play area of this inner city primary school to match the expanded pupil population, without reducing the space required by the P.E curriculum.

The design adds a double-layered play space to the edge of the existing playground, a soft landscape beneatha 2.2 meter elevated deck, connected by a hill and two slides.

Asif Khan says: "We designed an inside and outside space where the kids can invent their own play. This terrain is composed of two elements – a soft rubber landscape culminating in a steep hill and an elevated semi-enclosed timber space. The slides and rope nets bridge the vertical. The plan stimulates the kids to move, but also create quiet spaces where they can rest. In this simple structure we've seen so much variety of play created by the children."

The children at Chisenhale were consulted on the design of the space over a six-month period and had specific ideas to communicate with the architects. The kids wanted places to run and climb, places to hide and somewhere to rest and chat to friends.

Asif Khan says: "We were keen on using timber to provide a friendly layer of texture. The structure is designed to be adaptable and will grow and evolve over time."

Head Teacher Helen James says: "This is such an exciting place to be for the children. In terms of material the wood fits in so much with what we do at the school with education about being environmentally responsible."

The structure is built from thermally modified tulipwood slatted panels with a deck structure of thermally modified ash. It will go through a cradleto-grave Life Cycle Assessment and this will be used as a learning opportunity as part of the school's curriculum.

David Venables, European Director of AHEC says: "We are thrilled to be supporting a project that will educate children about good design, architecture and the environmentally friendly woods that are used for building. We see this as an opportunity for kids to learn about sustainable materials grown in nature that can be used to improve their lives. The thermally modified ash and tulipwoods are incredibly durable for outdoor use so it's a perfect material for Asif Khan to be using for this project."

評論

陳屹峰： 奇森哈勒小學的這個游戲場地盡管很小，但集合了上下、內外、軟硬、虛實和動靜等關系于一體，有著超越其規(guī)模的豐富性。建筑師選用的棕色木格柵、不銹鋼滑梯以及黑色橡膠地坪在色彩、質感和觸感等方面也充滿了對比。追求如此的多樣性是為了滿足孩子們關于奔跑、攀爬、躲藏以及休息和聊天的需求，同時也希望能激發(fā)他們自己的游戲方式。最為有趣的是，這個設計有著非常民主的基礎，征集孩子們對游戲場地的設想和要求就花了6個多月的時間。

Comments

CHEN Yifeng: Though in small size, the playground at Chisenhale Primary School combines in one setting various pairs of opposites including up and down, inside and outside, soft and hard, virtual and substantial, and dynamic and static, giving it a richness beyond its size. The brown wooden deck, the stainless-steel slides, and the black rubber floor, all of which chosen by the architect, create contrasts in color, texture, and tactile experience. The diversity of the space not only fulfills the basic needs of the children to run, climb, hide, rest and chat, but also encourages the kids to invent their own play. Most interesting is the sound democratic foundation of this design: over a 6-month period, the children were consulted on the design of the playground and they communicated to the architects their ideas and requests.

袁野: 與其說這是一個游戲建筑，不如說是孩子們的精神庇護所——漂浮在小丘之上的游戲木盒子，如同孩子的玩具盒被放大，而小丘、滑梯和繩網(wǎng)是僅有的游戲元素。簡潔純粹的形體暗示了其功能和使用人群的單純特征，環(huán)保木材形成的鏤空格珊強化了這種特征，并賦予空間以可觸摸的親切感。這里可作為被爸爸媽媽批評后跑出家門安靜獨處的地方，或者和小伙伴兒一起逃課后藏匿的地方。在格珊的陰影下，假裝不會被人發(fā)現(xiàn)。

YUAN Ye: This is not so much a game structure, but more exactly, children's spiritual shelter – a wooden box floating on top of a hill, like an amplified child's toy box, with the game elements being a hill, slides and rope nets. This simple form suggests the pure characteristics of its function and the people using it. The wooden structures strengthen this feature, at the same time giving the spaces a tangible tenderness. Here the kid can find quiet spaces for being alone after being criticized by mom and dad, or hiding places for his/her friends after skipping classes. In the land of the shadow, you can pretend not to be found.
